SAN FRANCISCO, (CBS.MW) - For a paltry $25,000 you too can have lunch with investing guru Warren Buffett.

Last week, Pete Budlong, who made his fortune as an electrical engineer with a dot-com company, put in a winning auction bid for lunch with Warren Buffett. The auction was a benefit for Glide Memorial Methodist Church in San Francisco.

Wednesday, Budlong and seven of his friends dined with Buffet at Stars restaurant in San Francisco.

CBS.MarketWatch.com spoke with Budlong, 35, about his dining experience with Buffett. The Berkshire Hathaway founder dished out advice about his different investments, his views on investing in the Internet, and advice for the best vacation spots.

As part of the $25,000 price tag, there also was a cameo appearance by actor Robin Williams wearing orange shoes in honor of the San Francisco Giants playoff game.
